I originally got this (very cheap) mirror and painted it with little flowers for a friend who promptly fell off the face of the earth. So I repainted it the colour of my cold dead heart (black) and printed off this little phrase from Nintendo Pro Wrestling.

I did consider giving this mirror to my brother, but if I ever give him a mirror it needs to say "shave that small animal off your face". Yeah D, now the interwebs knows.

A close up of the lettering, I am very proud of it (even if it is a very blurry pic).

Yo Dawg, I heard you like plastic bags. So I put a plastic bag in a plastic bag made of plastic bags.

I needed a bin and I saw on Craftster that people do all sorts of things with fused plastic bags (you layer lots of plastic bags and iron them together) and I thought it would look cool to make a plastic bag out of plastic bags to put a plastic bag in (for your rubbish). I am of course one of the crazy bag ladies who never chucks a carrier bag away and so I had dozens and spent 3 X-Men movies (in a row) cutting, ironing and sewing together my new bin.

Voilà bin:

A bag of plastic bags in my plastic bag made of plastic bags...

I've just seen someone with a similar idea but better here and I can see my next recycling related project!

For Andy's Xmas present I made him a picture frame with bits from cut up comic books, not my own idea but we saw it in a restaurant and thought it looked cool!

In the sticking down process...

So I very simply destroyed a Justice League of America comic by cutting out the bits I liked the most, spent a few frustrating hours trying to arrange them without Andy seeing it and then stuck it all down with PVA.
